Cracking bike but the brakes will most likely be crap so be careful and test them out first! They're a PITA to bleed and work on as well - very common upgrade is to swap them for Nissin 4 pots off a Bandit 1200, but a radial master cylinder will also make a big difference.

Same thing I had to do on the srad 750- swapped them for the 600's 4 pots!

That's uglier than a MK1 boxeye Fazer :lol

Well after a week of owning and riding everyday here is what i think......
Pros...
- This thing is biblically quick the fz1 wouldnt get anywhere near it in any gear.
- Handles well for a big lass , smooth and precise
- Massive mileage from the tank avaraged 55mpg on the run back from doncaster
- Cruises happily at 100mph and could hear a penny drop
- So much torque you can set off in any gear and ride about in 5th and not have to downshift.
- comfortable on a longer ride but not too big to commute on (have done into Liverpool 3 days this week)
- Silky smooth gearbox no clunk in any gear.
- Seems way ahead of its time this thing is 12 year old and still IMO feels newer and more advanced than my 06 FZ1.
Cons...
- Bloody heavy machine (Doesnt matter too much once rolling mind)
- Brakes are POO. (working on fixing ATM
- The looks MARMITE (i love it myself)
- Thats it...

These Bandit Nissan's are popular - a mate uses them on racing ZX400's. ZX9's etc.

Welcome to the "Busa Brotherhood". Pity you didn't get a gen2 Busa cos they got brakes that actually work ;) Get ye on the ukbusas forum.
http://www.ukbusas.org/forum/ (http://www.ukbusas.org/forum/)
We're a (mostly) friendly bunch on there and what the members don't know about Busas isn't worth knowing. I've just got a gen1 fazer thou' to add to my Busa and B-King garage......seems like what the members on here don't know about Fazers isn't worth knowing too.
